RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Keeping track of child windows

[Jeremy White]

The way I dealt with multiple objects with the same name/functionality was 
to dynamically eval the events into main.

Try the below code - it is a hacked job, and can be tidied up, but should 
give you a few ideas.

Cheers,

jez.

use Win32::GUI;
use strict;

my $unique;
my %resultswindow;

for (1..5) {
 createresults();
 }

Win32::GUI::Dialog();

sub createresults {
 #create unique names
 $unique++;
 my $windownumber = $unique;
 my $windowname   = "ResultsWin".$windownumber;
 $unique++;
 my $butname="Close".$unique;
 #create the window
 my $win = new GUI::Window(
   -title    => "Results",
   -left     => 400,
   -top      => 100,
   -width    => 185,
   -height   => 360,
   -style  => WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU ,
   -name     => $windowname,
  );
 $resultswindow{$windownumber}=$win;
 #create the button
 $win->AddButton(
  -name => $butname,
  -text => "Close",
  -left => 5,
  -top => 5,
  -tip => "Click here to close the results view",
  -cancel => 1,
 );

$win->Show;
my $string='sub ::'.$butname.'_Click 
{$resultswindow{'.$windownumber.'}->Hide();}';
print $string."\n";
#eval the sub into main
eval $string;
}

Well basically the MainWindow has a button to create a results window
and by design I want it to be able to create more than one window with
results (for camparison etc).

The new results window is created like this -

$ResultsWindow = new GUI::Window(
  -title    => "Results",
  -left     => 400,
  -top      => 100,
  -width    => 185,
  -height   => 360,
  -style  => WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU ,
  -name     => "ResultsWin",
 );

I then add a text area and a 'Close' button to this window.

The close button is added like this -

 $ResultsWindow->AddButton(
  -name => "Close",
  -text => "Close",
  -left => 5,
  -top => 5,
  -tip => "Click here to close the results view",
  -cancel => 1,
 );


The subroutine for the click event looks like this -

sub Close_Click {
    $ResultsWindow->Hide();
}


The reason I use hide if because I dont know of a better way of getting
rid of Windows?!

Clicking the close button then closes the last window created.

Help?

        Can we get some sample code to see how you're handling the
window creation / closing?

                All,

                I have a gui window that can spawn multiple child
windows, each with its own 'Close' button on it.  The close button works
fine if there is only one child window but fails to work if there are
more than one.  I understand why this is happening but cannot think of a
good way around it!

                Anyone have any ideas or can point out the obvious?

                Cheers,



                Darin

                        There may be a better way, but here are two
possible ways:

                        ### THIS WILL BRING UP THE SAME PRINT WINDOW AS
USED BY WEB BROWSER

                          $dll = "$ENV{'WINDIR'}/System32/mshtml.dll";

                          system("rundll32.exe $dll,PrintHTML $file");


                        -OR-


                        ### THIS MAY OR MAY NOT GIVE THE BEST RESULTS

                          system("copy $file
\\\\ServerName\\PrinterName");


                        Good luck.

                                All,


                                I have a Perl application that uses
Win32::GUI to provide a nice front end for a database, what I would
really like to do is provide a print feature with the ability to print
to a network printer through the gui.  Does anyone know of any way to do
this?

                                Cheers,

                                Darin
